Sales of alcoholic drinks plummeted through the on-trade in 2020 following the outbreak of COVID-19. However, after further disruption in the early part of the year, the reopening of foodservice outlets at the end of April set the path to an extremely positive performance for alcoholic drinks in the second half of 2021. The summer months released a pent-up demand for refreshing alcoholic drinks, in tandem with a desperate need for socialising.
